Looking for Alibrandi - Chapter 6

Plot summary


Michael Andretti is back and he doesn't want Josie as a daughter, but he will give them money if they really need it, but Christina just told him to leave them alone and never come back.

Challenges faced by the Character(s)/information revealed about character(s)


Josie has to be tough to protect her mother, even though she is kind of happy that her dad is back, she wants him to know that even though he is back she wouldn't leave her mum.

Important Quotations


"My second encounter with Michael Andretti happened today at my grandmother's house." (pg 64)
"Do me a favour, Christina,' he said. 'Don't pity me. My life lacks nothing."(pg 66)
"Then go, Michael. Forget you ever spoke to me. Forget you ever saw her. You did it once. I'm sure you can do it again."(pg 66)
"Stop being polite. You're making me puke. Be angry or be rude to me, but don't be polite,' I said angrily."(pg68)
"Okay,' he snapped back. 'A promise. You keep out of my life, I keep out of yours." (pg 69)

Personal Response


I think that even thought Michael doesn't want Josie as a daughter he shouldn't of said it to Christina. Even if Josie agreed to stay out of Michael's life i think she still wants a dad.
